How this will help

Do you trust politicians?
I have started gathering signatures for a petition in relation to same sex
marriage proposals.
http://www.causes.com/causes/978613-referendum-on-gay-marriage-in-september
This petition is NOT about whether you support changes to the Marriage Act
or oppose them.
It is about having the will of the people clearly communicated to the
government.
There is a lot of discussion and there have been many surveys on Australia
introducing same sex marriage laws.
As we all know surveys are suspect. How many have been wrong in predicting
election results?
The best way to once and for all tell the government of whatever persuasion
what is the will of the people is to hold a referendum/plebiscite in
conjunction with the federal election to be held in September.
If you care about this matter then you should support this action, no matter
which side of the final debate you are on. I will not be discussing my
views in this process but I am confident that if the Australian people speak
either way I will be content with the government following their wishes.
If you support changes and the Government does nothing then you will be
annoyed.
If you oppose changes and the Government introduces them then you will be
annoyed.
If the Australian people vote on this matter then the Government would be
hard pressed not to give heed to their wishes.
Vote now for the people of Australia to have their say. Don't trust the
politicians to decide this matter for you.
